The sounds are authentic, as are the filters and effects. The synth uses ‘analog modeling technology’, which has come a long way over the past couple of decades. I had initially planned to survey everything and THEN dive into specific details, but after loading up the iMS-20, I spent a couple of hours doing nothing but tweaking sounds and playing lead lines and bass lines! The reason anyone cares about this after so many years is that the MS-20 had amazing fat (or phat) sounds and great tweakability. The core of everything is the MS-20 synthesizer. You get ALL of that in the iMS-20 … but also so much more! Included in the iMS-20 is the analog monosynth, an analog sequencer, a drum machine based on MS-20 patches, a drum step sequencer, a song sequencer a virtual keyboard, two virtual kaoss (x-y controller) pads and a mixer.
The original MS-20 was a dual-oscillator monophonic synthesizer with multiple routing and filtering capabilities. I have access to the classic Roland bass and drum synths (TR303, 808 and 909) via Rebirth, some cool beats from the iElectribe … and now an awesome analog synth and sequencer from the iMS-20.

The software package for my Kurzweil K-2000 added loads of great sounds and programming options, but of course all of these things eat away at available polyphony.įrom there I took the typical ‘software synth’ route – but as a result I have literally thousands of dollars in music production software on my Mac, since each one tends to have a fairly narrow purpose! For example, if you bought the Korg Legacy software plug-in for the MS-20, it would cost $50 by itself, or $200 for the full collection (they just changed things, so it is no longer the Analog & Digital collections I got a while ago)! First, it was the ‘Vintage Synth’ expansion for my Roland JV-880, which was a great way to reproduce all of my favorite Juno and Jupiter sounds, but otherwise a bit narrow.
Because of that, like many others I have spent years working with ‘analog synth packages’ for a variety of platforms.
